Getting guns on Brazil and probably in most of the world isn't even close to how easy it is in the US, so yeah, my only hope for my gun hobby to go beyond theory is moving to the US, so fellow humans in the US, if you think you guys need stricter gun control, I am fine by that, as long as it stops mass shooters, not me from doing some pew pew lmao

Yeah, I know there's a whole big issue there in the US, Switzerland is a pretty neat place ngl, even getting automatic guns isn't too much of a problem, just gotta get a collector license (which isn't much of a big deal since you only need to have no criminal record, be mentally sane, etc), so yeah, maybe I will consider moving on to there someday! Thank you!

Yeah the difference is Switzerland doesn’t have rage as a defining cultural trait and they’re trained with and held accountable with their small arms. We just don’t do that here. I could go to a gun store, and 3 days later walk out with a gun and nobody would ever have to check in on it or me. I’d just be held accountable if it was used by someone it shouldn’t be.

And like yeah I actually like that it’s not too restrictive here, I just want some basic evidence based gun laws to minimize the violence.
